Notes About External SSDs
• An external SSD cannot be used when the optional DMW-BLF19 battery is being
used.
• When [USB-SSD] is set to [ON], the following functions are not available:
– Recording to cards, playing back pictures/videos recorded to cards
– [Rec Quality] with a high frame rate video exceeding a recording frame rate of
60.00p
– [Variable Frame Rate] exceeding a frame rate of 60 fps
– [Copy]
– [Double Card Slot Function]
– [USB]
– [Firmware Update] ([Firmware Version])
• If you want to automatically transfer pictures to a smartphone as they are taken while
using an external SSD, set [USB-SSD] to [ON], then set [Auto Transfer] in
[Bluetooth] to [ON]. ([Auto Transfer]: 651)
• When an external SSD is connected, power is supplied from the camera, so the
battery will be consumed faster. It is recommended to either have a backup battery
ready, or to use the Panasonic AC Adaptor (DMW-AC10: optional) and DC Coupler
(DMW-DCC17: optional).
• When not using the external SSD, turn [USB-SSD] [OFF].
When set to [ON], power is supplied from the battery of this camera to the connected
device, so the battery will be consumed faster.
• Depending on the external SSD connected, a message indicating that it cannot be
used may be displayed on the screen due to insufficient power and it may not
operate.
– We recommend using an external SSD whose operation has been confirmed by
Panasonic.
– Perform trial recording in advance to check that operation is correct.
